Betrayed By My Alpha Mate, Claimed By The Lycan Prince Chapter 27: What Fenris Won't Repeat
FenrisThree weeks into training her the new way, I still didn't know what Sierra was planning. I'd stopped expecting her to tell me.I watched her cross a stretch of open ground that morning without a sound, low and controlled, timing her movement to the gap between two patrol markers I'd set up the day before. She was getting good. Better than good, for someone who'd started from nothing six months ago, good enough that some part of me had stopped worrying about whether she could do whatever this was, and started worrying about what it actually was instead."Better," I said, when she reached the far tree line. "You're anticipating the gap now instead of reacting to it.""Is that enough?""Enough for training ground conditions, real grounds different. Real patrols don't move on a schedule I set for you." I studied her, sweat-streaked and focused, and asked the question I'd asked a dozen times already, knowing I'd get the same answer. "Still not going to tell me where you're plannin
Betrayed By My Alpha Mate, Claimed By The Lycan Prince Chapter 26: A Plan with Too Many Holes
SierraI spread everything out on the floor of my chamber at midnight. Every scrap I'd gathered in six months, laid out in candlelight, refusing to form a plan no matter how many times I moved the pieces around.The rough map of Glendale's northern estate, drawn from memory and Dennet's descriptions. The guard rotation. The ten-minute gap between midnight and dawn. A route out I'd sketched a dozen times and trusted less each time I looked at it.I sat back and made myself look at it honestly.It wasn't enough.A gap in a rotation that might not even exist anymore. No confirmed way out once I was inside with a screaming infant in my arms. Training that let me land a hit on Fenris in a controlled ring, and no idea if that would mean anything against real wolves hunting me in the dark.I could get myself killed. Worse, I could get Aurora killed.I sat with that a long time before I made myself face what I'd been avoiding. I needed help. Real help, not scraps gathered in secret. And there

SierraKairo didn't speak to me the next morning. Or the morning after that.It wasn't cruelty, exactly. He was polite when we crossed paths, correct in every outward way a prince was supposed to be correct with his wife. But the warmth was gone, folded away somewhere I couldn't reach, and the silence between us had teeth now in a way it hadn't before the stables came up.I was still turning that over three days later when Varek found me in the corridor outside my chambers, his face carrying the same grim urgency I'd seen the night the Glendale letter came in."Where's the Prince," I asked."Already summoned. You should come as well." He didn't elaborate further, just turned and led the way, and I followed with my pulse climbing, certain whatever this was, it wasn't good.Kairo was already in the war room when we arrived, a map of Glendale's territory spread across the table, one of his scout’s standing rigid beside it."Tell her what you told me," Kairo said, not looking up.The scou

SierraI noticed the change before I could name it. Kairo lingering too long in doorways. Watching me cross a room like he was checking for something. A question asked twice, worded differently the second time.I finally cornered him about it in his study."You've been strange with me," I said."Strange how.""Watchful. Like you're waiting for me to slip up.""I've had a lot on my mind. The investigation. The border reports.""It feels like it's about me."He didn't answer that. I decided if something had shifted between us, I might as well say the thing I'd been holding back."There's something I need to tell you. About Liriel."His expression closed off. "What about her.""I don't think she's the friend she pretends to be. I think she's dangerous, and I think you're too close to her to see it.""That's a serious accusation.""I know how it sounds.""Do you? Because it sounds like jealousy." His voice stayed level, but there was an edge under it. "I've known Liriel since we were chil

Kairo"You look troubled," Liriel said, settling into the chair across from my desk without waiting for an invitation, the way she'd done since we were children and formality had never quite applied between us."Council business.""You always say that when it isn't council business." She studied me with the particular patience of someone who'd known me longer than almost anyone left alive. "Is it about the poisoning? Any progress on who's responsible?""Some thread. Nothing certain.""You suspect someone.""I'm not discussing it, Liriel.""Fair enough." She let the silence sit for a moment, then added, almost carelessly, "It's strange, though. Sierra's been oddly private lately, hasn't she? More than usual, I mean.""She's recovering. People withdraw when they're recovering.""Is that what it is." She said it lightly, not quite a question, and I felt something small and unwelcome catch in my chest at the phrasing. "I only mention it because I've noticed her disappearing for stretches

Sierra"Let me see it.""Sierra—""Let me see the letter, Kairo." I was already crossing the room toward Varek before either of them could stop me, my heart slamming so hard against my ribs I could feel it in my throat. "If it references a daughter, I need to know whose."Varek glanced at Kairo, who gave a small, tight nod, and handed the dispatch over without argument. My hands were shaking badly enough that the parchment trembled as I unfolded it, my eyes scanning the recovered fragments too fast to properly read at first.It wasn't my hand.The relief hit before the words fully registered different phrasing, a different name signed at the bottom, a reference to a daughter's wedding dowry that had nothing to do with anything I'd written. Some merchant's private business, tangled up in a robbery that had nothing to do with me, a coincidence cruel enough to stop my heart for a full minute over nothing at all."This isn't mine," I said, and my voice came out unsteady with the aftershoc
